Ah ,that explains it. Any music, from any year makes sense. I just got this mental impression of non-JPF members throwing CD's into the contest, and hence overwhelming it, where it's meant to be a contest for the membership.

I'd like to suggest a couple of side awards, mainly for the satisfaction of forum members who are not in a position to travel and meet and greet. That's 'Best mp3 2008' and 'Best of the Lyric Boards'. Perhaps it could be peer nominated to cut down on entries, and a simple vote through the moderators. There's been some good 'work in progress' which deserves recognition, firstly for having the guts to put up your work in a public forum to be disected, and secondly there's a few ripper songs which deserve a nod.

cheers, niteshift
